Line 13:
* In ''[[Noir]]'', the subplot of who the hell Yuumura Kirika ''is'' drives the action for the begining of the series. A subversion, since near the end Kirika doesn't really seem to want to find out about her past, and would rather just make tea for her [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|'partner'.]]
* ''[[Kaiba]]'': One day a young man wakes up in an empty room, with no idea of who or where he is. His only clues are a strange marking on his stomach, a hole in his chest and a locket containing a blurry picture of a girl. Kaiba travels from planet to planet, seeking for who he is and who the girl in the locket is.
* ''[[Durarara!!]]'': This is at least part of the plot, in the case of {{spoiler|Celty's}} motivations.
* ''[[Battle Angel Alita]]'': Alita (who was named Gally in the original manga).
* ''[[Ergo Proxy]]'': Starting with episode four, {{spoiler|the series does an [[Ontological Mystery|Ontological]] [[Heel Face Turn]] by changing from a story about a Goth girl detective trying to figure out the connection between the monsters and the corrupt Bureaucracy, to a story about what was apparently a minor character but not really trying to remember his past.}}
* ''[[Eden of the East]]'' starts our amnesiac protagonist off in front of the White House with nothing more than a handgun and a cellphone (albeit one with eight billion yen on it) to go by. "Nothing," in this case, includes [[Naked on Arrival|clothes]].
* ''[[Angel Beats!]]'' begins with Otonashi waking up without any memories. He joins the SSS not because of any particular commitment to Yuri's mission, but in the hope that his memory will eventually return.
* ''Dangaio'': The four ESP'ers are all suddenly find themselves in service to Dr. Tarsan without knowing who they are/were, or how they got there.
* In ''Celestial Legend Ceres'', Tooya's main motivation for working with the Mikages is to find out who he is.
